SEP finished the 2015 season in the same way it began - in the driver's seat with the pedal to the floor. As a result, this year's Rams solidified itself as one of the greatest teams in the history of Iowa.

The boys had another undefeated dual season and set scoring records at nearly every tournament it entered (Gardner-Edgerton, Ed Winger, CIML), despite typically having 1-3 Varsity members out of the line-up throughout the year, showcasing the program's depth.

By the time the post-season rolled around, the Rams were firing on all cylinders for the first time since Week 1 - and it showed. The Rams tied the state record with 13 State Qualifiers, 11 of which eventually placed at the Traditional State Tournament.

Prior to the big tournament, the Rams ran through the competition and into the State Dual Finals, where they met their back-and-forth rivals, (and fellow Nationally ranked team) Bettendorf. Despite starting in the teeth of Bettendorf's daunting middle-weight line-up, the Rams quickly caught up and blew past Bettendorf with hard fought wins at 170, 182, and 195 before consecutive pins at 220, 285, and 106. Ultimately, the Rams bested Bettendorf 34-28 for their 2nd State Dual Title (2013 & 2015).

With the momentum of the Dual Tournament behind them, the Rams charged into the Traditional Tournament lead and never looked back, opening the gap with Bettendorf nearly every session. By Tournament's end, the Rams amassed a ridiculous 193 points (2nd All-Time in 3A) on the strength of 11 Placewinners and 3 State Champions to win the Rams' 2nd Traditional State Title, and a National Ranking of #7:

Despite graduating a strong Senior Class, the Rams still return the 2nd most State Tournament points (behind Fort Dodge) and return 7 State Qualifiers and 8 returning Varsity members, including 2 x State Champion Ethan Andersen. As for the rest of the weights, only time will tell who will step up for the Rams to compete for another title.

No one expected that the encore to the 2011-2012 wrestling season would surpass everyone's wildest dreams. As the State Championship shirts say, the 2012-2013 Rams were simply "Everything Champs".

The Rams dominated every competition they entered with a rare balance of super stars power and total team effort. The Rams won the Blazers Invitational in Gardner Edgerton HS, Kansas, the prestigious Cheesehead Tournament in Kaukana, Wisconsin, set records at the Winger Classic in Urbandale, Iowa, and CIML Conference Tournament. The Rams qualified 13 of 14 guys at the District Tournament before winning the SEP High School's first Men's State Title, in its 50-year history, by dominating the State Dual Tournament.

The Rams will lose 7 Seniors from their starting line-up next year, but the boys are hungry to turn a good run into a repeat performance .

The Drought is over. The Curse is broken. Free at last.

2011 - 2012 SeasonThe completion of the Rams' 2011-2012 season marked the most successful single season in the history of the program. Coached by Jason Christenson, the Rams had an undefeated regular dual season, 11 State Qualifiers, 7 State Place Winners, 5 State finalists (including Bud Smith and Dylan Blackford), and 3 State Champions (pictured) in Willie Miklus (4 x Finalist, 2 x Champion), Alex Meyer, and Cory Clark (4 x Champion). The team finished in 2nd place with 156.5 points (9th highest point total of all time) in a season remembered for gaudy takedown and pin statistics, as well as the controversial decision to withhold all State Qualifiers from competing in the State Dual Tournament, the day before the Traditional Tournament, to allow individual wrestlers to focus on their individual goals. Southeast Polk finished the season ranked #13 in the National polls.
